“What!” I practically shout.
Kass nods her head. “Yup… According to Uncle Ethan she was going on and on about finding her another ‘appropriate mate when mom seemed to have finally had enough. She removed her own foundation over her mark, showing the mark to
Grandmother. She told Grandmother she would never reject her fated. Then reminded her of what happened when a marked mate was rejected.”
“Aunt Steph had also found out she was pregnant with Kass, and told Grandmother about it.” said Bella
“Mom was also going to look for Sabastian, she had been feeling pain, from what they were doing to him, through their bond.
Mom told Grandmother she was afraid he had been captured by rogues,” said
Kass
“Uncle Bruce said Grandmother went completely off the rails then, she was screaming that she wasn’t going to allow Aunt Steph to ruin her life by mating a lowly Vampire. She demanded the abomination’ in her womb be destroyed, and that her marked status wouldn’t be a problem for long.” said Bella.
“What?!” Damien nearly shouted, he was surprised and furious at the same time, the others horrified.
“Aunt Lucinda said while they all had stood there stunned and horrified over her words, Grandmother had called her guards… and told them to kill the prisoner” said Kass
“No!” I cried our in horror, my father had come so close to being killed, by his mother in-law. I
“Yeah, luckily, Aunt Bulma, Galena and Lydia had already freed father, and they all walked in just in other give the guards those orders.” said Kass “Aunt Bulma said dad was majorly pissed. He ordered Grandmother arrested right then and there, charging her with false imprisonment.”
“Aunt Steph seeing the damage done to Uncle, had demanded an explanation from Grandmother. Grandmother was to oincensed over what was happening and was screaming at Uncle, it wasn’t pretty,
Aunt Steph refused to look at Grandmother or even say a word to her after being told everything.” said Bella 2
“Grandmother lost all her credibility with the Witches Council and was stripped of her titles and power.” said Kass. “Then mom gave the Council her resignation, telling them her sister, Aunt Galena, was the perfect candidate to take over her position.” “
“No offence, but your Grandmother is one of the worst mother in law’s ever.” Darien said dryly, making us all laugh.
Alora’s POV con’d
I never really thought about how my father new instantly that I had been tortured, thinking it was purely due to the amount of scars worn on Selena’s skin. When we had transformed into our Sprites during our training I hadn’t paid attention to the scars on his skin.2
I thought back to the battle now, and forced myself to pay attention to the scars this time. When I did, I couldn’t hold back my gasp of horror and the anguish that seemed to come with it. A tear escaped and trailed down my cheek.
My mate seeing this, gathered me onto his lap holding me close “What is it mate, what has you so upset?” he asked me in a worried tone.
I looked up into his eyes, tears on my lashes, my sorrow clear to see. “I know his scars, they are like mine.” I buried my face in his chest and cried silent sobs of grief, for my father, and for myself. My tormentors were mostly gone and dead, there was only one left. My fathers tormenter was his mother in law, and she was still alive. It made me angry.
Suddenly the tears dried as my anger began to rise, but it wasn’t just my anger and demand for justice I felt, it was Selena’s and
Xena’s too. He was our father, and though we barley knew him…we understood him, and felt deeply for him already. How could we not, our connection was now just that much deeper with this new revelation. I needed to get back, I suddenly really wanted to hug my father, and my new mom. 2
My mate, sensing my emotions stood with me in his arms, he let my legs down gently till my feet touched the floor and I was able to stand on my own. He didn’t let me go though, he kept his arm wrapped around me, providing a much needed comfort. He was a wonderful caring male, he would never leave me in distress if it was in his power to help dispel it.
The others had silently watched our entire exchange, they wore varying expressions ranging from curiosity and worry to shared sorrow. They were all family and friends, more than I ever expected to have. This just meant there were more people I was now dedicated to protecting. I would need to study the things in here and remember the knowledge collected over my past lives. I would need to have us prepared to take on the Black Magic Coven.
With a gesture, Damien and I lead the way out. Once everyone was out, the willow was sealed once more. We started walking back to the training grounds, the crowd was large and loud. The atmosphere was light and lively, I tried not to let my sorrow keep
me from feeling it. I wanted to feel more of the joy from my Pack as they turned an ordinary day into something fun and extraordinarily. 2
I started to think about my father on the way back to the stadium. I was grateful Stephanie chose to stay by his side instead of following her mothers dictates. I was more grateful now than ever before that she chose to love me, and adopt me as her daughter. She fought for what she believed in, and stood up for those she loves, even if it was against her own mother,
She had to have loved her mother at some point, of that I was certain, but I wanted to know what there relationship was like before my father. What had her home life been like? What was in her mothers past, that she was so afraid of her daughter messing up her life by being married to a Vampire, that she would act the way she had.
Stephanie was all kindness and heart, till it came to someone harming those she considered hers. She was a very powerful and extremely intelligent Witch. She had held a Council seat at both the
Witches Council and the Supernatural Council. She had to have gotten her capacity for love from one of her parents. It made me wonder about her father. Had he approved the match?
“What is it that has you thinking so hard my Starlight?” Damien asked me, his deep rumbly voice was gentle, and held his love for me in each note.
I look up at him and smile, I can’t help how much I truly loved this male. I looked at his face, his eyes, his lips, studying him, taking in all his handsome and sexy features. “I was thinking about my new mom’s father, wondering how he was, I was also wondering what kind of relationship mom had with her mother before she met my father.” I tell him, my voice soft, I reach up and brush the one lock of black hair that fell against his forehead back.
“You could always ask her and find out.” he advises. He gently grabs the hand I used to brush his hair back with, and brings it to his lips, placing a gentle kiss on top.
